Personal tip - meat & eggs in moderation
STAY AWAY from bananas, avocado & dried apricots - watch out for melon as well.

Foods with high sources of potassium include broccoli, orange juice, potatoes, bananas, soybeans, avocados, apricots, pomegranates, parsnips and turnips, although many other fruits, vegetables, and meats contain potassium. Research has indicated that diets high in potassium can reduce the risk of hypertension.

It is normal for the bodies homeostatic mechanisms to be able to keep the potassium level normal. if this is failing you need an explanation as to why, and treatment of the cause.

highest source of potassium in foods is raisins. If your levels of potassium are too high, I doubt that it is the foods you are eating, natural potassium is excreted by healthy kidneys. If you do not have healthy kidneys, then you might ask your doctor about Kaexylate.
